It is a cloud solution based on DNS request filtering that allows you to block unsafe and irrelevant resources and analyzes internet usage .
How does it work ?
The Internet-connected device uses a DNS server. As soon as the user enters a website address in the browser's address bar , for example: www.google.com , the request is forwarded to the DNS server, which returns the IP address to the page , and then the page will be loaded. With this service , you can fully control the DNS server , and will be able to block any categories of websites , as well as view statistics of all user requests .
DNS query filtering is not as secure as traffic filtering , but it is much easier to accommodate large numbers of users located on different networks and subnets.
